now darkness has come to

the roses / the fire is reaching
the end / the colors that i
have created / are suddenly
flying away
Im not fighting myself, will
not follow / cause my choices
are mine its my fate / and
Ill never bow down from the
sorrow / Ill face all that is
coming my way
denying the devil of silence
embracing the world on
the edge
CHORUS

let us burn / let us burn and

light up the skies here tonight
/ let us burn / let us burn in
this fire that makes us yearn /
whoah, were fighting our fear
of the silence / were running
through walls where they
stand / let us burn / let us
burn / let us burn
Im searching no more for tomorrow / I reach for the skies
while i can / the unknown will
always be waiting / my last
day ill jump in its hands

Im not fighting myself, will

not follow / cause my choices
are mine its my fate / and
Ill never bow down from the
sorrow / Ill face all that is
coming my way
denying the devil of silence
/ embracing the world on
the edge
CHORUS

why, why dont you let me

burn / why dont you count
down and break out and let
me burn / oh why, why dont
you let me burn / why dont
you let me burn / why dont
you let me burn / oh why
chasing the demons in my
mind / oh why am i waiting
for change / throwing me to
the ground
now darkness has come to the
roses, / the fire is reaching
the end...
CHORUS

i know i wont change, i have

tried / was feeling so caged,
hands tied / I cant find
anything feeling so right / its
blinding all
the reaper is close, ive seen
his smile / a matter of time,
cant deny / i wont turn
around, round, round / this
destinys mine
the countdown has begun
/ the walls are falling down
/ my life is on the line / but
freedom is mine
CHORUS

its dangerous / to sacrifice

it makes your blood run / to
throw the dice / its dangerous
its what you like / its what
youll die for / to live this life
were going on / no well
never stop / were going
on till worlds collide / its
dangerous, so dangerous,
dangerous
i know its not sane, close
my eyes / keep searching the
edge of life / cause thats the
f eatUr ing : h oWa rD J on es

only place Ill ever find / that

makes me whole.
a thief in the night, out of
sight / its out there waiting to
ignite / the fever will rise, rise,
rise / taking over my mind
the countdown has begun
/ the walls are falling down
/ my life is on the line / but
freedom is mine
CHORUS

nothing matters anyhow /

its like Im floating off the
ground / into the hands
of air I dive / rays of light
flashing by
like the time is slowing down
/ and the world is out of sight
/ all the memories in my mind
/ wont leave me behind
its dangerous / dangerous /
its dangerous / dangerous /
its dangerous!
CHORUS

it burns into your heart / the

darkness that you fear / you
were never free / and you never
realized / and love is a word /
you never heard / your heart
aint cold, cause it burns / a
desire to leave the mire
take your breath / till
nothings left /scars of life /
upon your chest / and i know /
wherever it goes
CHORUS

and we run / with a lonely

heart / and we run, for this
killing love / and we run, till
the heavens above / yeah we
run / running in the dark / and
we run, till we fall apart / and
we run, till the heavens above
dont blink youll miss it / lift
up your head / we gotta get
gone / yeah, we outta here!
dont blink youll miss it / lift
up your head / too late were
gone / yeah, we outta here!
and we run / with a lonely
heart / and we run / for this
killing love / and we long for a
heavenly heart

ima break these chains / ran

thru the rain / never look back,
never quit / work thru the pain
/ this blood in my veins runs
cold / when i think itll never
be the same / but i never lose
hope / this is My time now!
/ no time for tears / celebrate
/ put it in the air right now! /
never back down / you could
never wear my crown / cause it
weighs too much / and i crush
/ every muthafuckin thing I
touch / this is love, / ive never
loved so much! / get involved
/ make the world stand up! /
give my life / before I ever give
up / name in lights you lost
all my trust / now its time to
face all of us / get in line cause
they callin us / and it feels
marvelous / just take my hand
and rUn!
CHORUS

dont blink youll miss it / lift

up your head / we gotta get
gone / yeah, we outta here!
dont blink youll miss it / lift
up your head / too late were
gone / yeah, we outta here!

all in all youd expect the wise

to be wiser / fallen from grace
all and all i guess / we should
have known better cause
CHORUS

what about us, / isnt it

enough? / no were not in
paradise / this is who we are /
this is what weve got / no, its
not our paradise / but its all
we want / and its all that were
fighting for / though its not
paradise

04
Theres no sense / the fire
burns / when wisdom fails, it
changes all / the wheel embodies all that keeps on turning
blood red skies, I feel so cold /
no innocence, we play our role
/ the wheel embodies all, where
are we going?

you and us / or i and them /

there comes a time / to take a
stand / the wheel is watching
all that keeps on burning
the venom works / its like a
curse / a trojan horse / when
will we learn / the wheel embodies all that keeps returning
all in all youd expect the wise
to be wiser / fallen from grace
all and all i guess / we should
have known better cause
CHORUS

CHORUS

what about us, / isnt it

enough? / no were not in
paradise / this is who we are /
this is what weve got / no, its
not our paradise / but its all
we want / and its all that were
fighting for / what about us, /
isnt it enough? / no were not
in paradise / this is who we are
/ this is what weve got / no,
its not our paradise / but its
all we want / and its all that
were fighting for / but its not
paradise
what about us, what about us,
what about us, isnt it enough?
/ what about us, what about us,
what about us, isnt it enough?
/ what about us, what about us,
what about us, isnt it enough?
/ what about us, what about us,
what about us, isnt it enough!

feat Uri n g: ta rJa

Cannot swallow the soil, make

it all beautiful / can not carry
you, carry you, carry you now
the truth cant bear the sunlight, / youre afraid for the
day it does / and when i told
you so / i got burned, burned,
burned again
heaven forbid that my heart
is for sale / hope in the end,
truth prevails
CHORUS

Im gonna run to the edge of

the world / run to the edge
of the world / feel that Im
gonna get home if I try / Im
gonna run to the edge of the
world / run to the edge of
the world / need to find my
way home
youre as proud as god / but
i believed in your heart / and
ill be leaving you, leaving you,
leaving you now / the truth
cant bear the sunlight / and

dont pretend to be my guide

/ you said youd change it all
but i got burned, burned,
burned instead
heaven can wait cause my soul
aint for sale / hope in the
end, truth prevails
CHORUS 2x

justify / no more lies / once

upon a time...

turn around, open your eyes

/ cant move on, the fear is
tying you down / open your
eyes, its all right ...oh!!!
Im hellbound in this life /
keep fighting this endless war
/ its always been like this i
dont know why / enslavement of your mind / your fear
it ties me down / going down,
i wont bow...no!!!

pavement / going down, i

wont bow DoWn!!!
CHORUS

im impatient but its colors

that i need / too many shades
of grey, I cannot breathe / the
dreams i have aint tainted, i
need you to believe, / the only
way to make them real
CHORUS

CHORUS

screaming at the walls of fire

/ theyre closing in on me /
I hunger for the vertigo, the
silver moonlight / its where
i wanna be / screaming at
the walls of fire / but Im still
running free / in the silver
moonlight i can breathe
these days are only now /
breathing in the coldest lies
/ i think thats only what you
have in mind / holding on
to the best of you / I hit the

turn around, open your eyes

/ cant move on, the fear is
tying you down / open your
eyes, its all right

I feel my heart explode to

particles / love is always here
and i told you so / restless in
dreams love carved in stone /
this rhapsody of life in a way /
i guess we all know it
hand in hand we stand while
we watch you flow / heaven
can you help us, where we
cant go
CHORUS

covered by roses / when this

dance is over / we all know
all beauty will die / the choirs
have awoken / left no words
unspoken / remember you
as long as i can / hold you in
my arms all night / and spill
the wine until the end / we all
have our place in time / need
to live every moment
we built our castles high /
turned our dreams to gold /
we took the blows with pride
/ went through it all / the
dawn is closing in / new tales
are told

this rhapsody of life / in a

way, i guess we all know
CHORUS

for all we are is falling stars

in the night / a blinding light
raging down from the sky /
the rise and fall, the rhapsody
of our lives / its all we are
and know, weve got to let go
CHORUS

Wake up in the dead of night

/ dogs are turning wild / run
into whats wrong each time
/ fail to get it right / fighting
off this heavy heart / keeping
your head high
oh wont you please forget /
wont you please forget
CHORUS

these are the dog days / these

are the dog days / leading
our hearts astray / these are
the dog days / these are the
dog days / soon they will
fade away
one, two, three, four / what
are you waiting for? / one,
two, three, four / what are
you waiting for? / these are
the dog days / these are the
dog days
awakened by the dreams at
night / chills run down your
spine / the brightest star in
summer skies / brings madness to our minds / fighting
off the darkest thoughts /
fighting to survive

oh wont you please forget /

oh wont you please forget
CHORUS

embracing the highs to fight

the lows / running down the
path that i think i need to go
/ when you think youve won,
youre still losing after all /
these are dog days, these are
the dog days
CHORUS

these are the dog days, these

are the dog days! / these are
the dog days, these are the
dog days! / these are the dog
days, these are the dog days! /
these are the dog days

Ive been losing myself in

anger / so much broken by
the rage. / nothing could take
my mind off, / how to make
them pay.
killing myself for nothing /
and the pain wont go away
/ losing myself to madness /
and the games been played
If I could turn the hands of
time, i would / but here i am
CHORUS

tell me, why am i still here

when its all gone / im living
with the ghosts of yesterday
/ tell me why am i still trying
to hold on / ive got to tear it
down, to let it go
im too tired to keep on
trying, / but im spellbound
till the end. / knowing that
theres no closure / for my
wars inside.
ive buried the good and evil,
/ only memories left behind /

i am the one still standing /

i will live to tell
If I could turn the hands of
time, i would / but here i am,
here i am
CHORUS

tell me why im wasting away

/ tell me how to break my
own chains / cause Im losing
after all / how can I escape
this grim fate / tell me how to
face one more day / cause Im
wasting away
its all gone silent / im
searching for fire / nothing to
fight for / alone
tell me why am i still here
when its all gone / whoah,
living with the ghosts of
yesterday
CHORUS

You live your life / you go day

by day / like nothing can go
wrong / then scars are made
/ theyre changing the game /
you learn to play it hard

yourself / you found who you

are / that never goes away
and I know you wish for more
/ and i know you try / and
now you realize / you know
the time is right

and I know you wish for more

/ and i know you try / and
now you realize / you know
the time is right

CHORUS

your sacrifice goes through

your mind / but nothing is
wasted youve made it now /
you rise again, breaking out /
each step youve taken, youve
paid the price

CHORUS

the whole world is watching

/ when you rise / the whole
world is beating / for you
right now / your whole life is
flashing / for your eyes / its
all in this moment that changes all / what are you waiting
for / what are you fighting for
/ cause times always slipping
away / the whole world is
watching / yeah, the whole
world is watching you / when
you rise

CHORUS

you build your walls / you

break them away / cause that
is what it takes / you saved
